numerically?

 

212 is about straight up. so 230-40 i would guess. saw it there once and just about shat a brick.

 

glad I'm not the only one. stuck in standstill traffic, needle's climbing...I just shut it off.

 

i was on an open road so i just drove and managed to cool it down.

 

I had to choice...Thought there'd be no traffic in Arlington at 2PM. Ha was I wrong.

Just hoping I didn't boil/cavitate the water when I shut it off, since it stopped the water pump and de-pressurized the system....

 

you need a better efan.

 

no e-fan, all clutch. just the V6. And the clutch was engaged.

 

oh wow. the time for an efan with that clutch.

 

would if I could. Must be nice to have a newer, more efficient 4.7. Can't say there's alot of room for a taurus OR HHR fan in front of the clutch, and can't configure as a pusher b/c of AC condenser, ect.

 

FYI - a ScanGauge II will likely read a number instead of a needle position if you've an interest to know. I'll swap mine from my Accord to the Dak and be sure, but it does in the Honda. Needle position only on the Honda gauge but a true number comes out of the OBDII port. Lots of info available there that you can use - TPS, water temp, battery voltage, engine load, rpm, mpg, mph, cost of trip, and lots more. Kinda pricey at $150, but valuable to me in my search for max fuel mileage in the Accord. It's paid for itself in increased fuel economy. Up to 34mpg in my 1998 2.3l auto with an EPA sticker of 24 in town / 31 highway - way better than my 3.9 Dakota that I drive to work for almost 3 years. 3.9l Cummins should do much better than my Magnum engine, at least that's the plan.
